Description
On a forgotten stretch of Old Highway 10, perched ominously on a hill behind a dreary motel, looms the intimidating edifice of the Bates House. In there you'll find mild-mannered Normal and his beloved mother. She's such a sweet old lady, you know, you might just find her peeking out from the windows from time to time...
I love horror movies. And I love paper. Not to mention I've been bitten by the papercraft bug lately. You put all of these things together, and what you're looking at is the 1/66 recreating of the Bates House from Alfred Hitchcock's iconic movie Psycho. And since this is my first attempt at building paper models, I would really appreciate it if the more experienced folks can give me their feedback on my venture. I can take a good slashing!
And if you want to see the house with an unexpected visitor who is investigating a strange case of a mummified mummy, you can check it out here: sta.sh/01m1gv4c0w6n (Get out of there, Doctor! You shouldn't be there!)
Artist's Note
1. Pattern credit: Want to build your own miniature horror house? Visit Ray Keim and his website "Haunted Dimensions" www.haunteddimensions.raykeim.… and grab the model for free. Now everybody can be a mother's boy!
2. Equipment: Cutting board, artisan cutting blade (#11), student's white glue. Varnished using Testor's Dullcoat (Matte).
3. Paper: Brochure paper at Staples, Inc's Copy and Print service. (Unfortunately, they can't tell me the weight of this paper. But it's mid-gloss and feels about 100lbs to 125 lbs (270gsm to 338gsm.)
4. Size: Height: 7", width: 6.5", depth: 8.5" (approx 1:66 scale)
5. Time: No idea. I think I spent more time waiting for the glue to dry than anything else!
6. Thanks
for your encouragement and your inspiration!

Looking at the house gives me the chills, which means that you did an excellent job! 
I really like not only how you built the house, but also how you presented it - there's a bit of what looks like fog in some of the photos, and someone peeking out of the window I think? Both are subtle but help make the piece more emotionally evocative
